I would never usually do this, but the original design is so stupid that i decided to fix it:



and to try and save some face for the potato farmers that made it, i tried to make it look as original as possible.

Thats right Jimmy .

DIY is by far the cheapest way to do it, i enquired quite a bit before going ahead, and prices for that size ranged from 1500, for a crappy shed, which would have blown away by now to 5k plus.

This one cost me around 800quid including the concrete slab which is over 25cm deep (it was the end of a lorry and i had to take the lot )

If you want a hand, I'll gladly come and help, I've also got some power tools which are good fun, the circular saw is a particular favourite.

I contacted the council's planning department, we exchanged a few emails. When they realised the size and the construction materials, they we not interested.

It is accessed from the drive through a carport so there were no access issues.
